Recombinant Human Fas Ligand soluble, FLAG-tagged

• Cat.No.: FAS-38H
• Product Overview: The extracellular domain of human FasL (sFasL, aa. 103-281) is fused at the N-terminus to a linker peptide (26 aa) and a FLAG-tag. Glycosylation of rhsFasL is similar to natural human FasL. The recombinant protein is produced in HEK 293 cells.

Specification

• Source: HEK 293 cells
• Species: Human
• Tag: FLAG
• Form: Provided as a lyophilized powder. Contains PBS.
• Molecular Mass: ~32 kDa (non-glycosylated), ~35 kDa (glycosylated) (SDS-PAGE)
• Endotoxin: Endotoxin content is<0.1 eu/μg purified protein as determined by lal test.>
• Purity: ≥95% purity as determined by SDS-PAGE.
• Characteristic: rhsFasL binds to human, mouse and rat Fas.
• Applications: Induction of Apoptosis: Recombinant FasL protein induces apoptosis in Fas-sensitive cells (ED50: 50 ng/mL in A20 cells). Optimal concentration varies with cell type and should be determined by testing serial dilutions on cells. Alone, rhsFasL kills Fas-sensitive cells at a concentration of >10 ng/mL. Use of a secondary enhancing cross-linking antibody reacting with rhsFasL increases the activity of rhsFasL approximately 50-fold.
• Usage: For in vitro research use only. Not for use in diagnostics or in humans.
• Notes: Results using sFasL may differ from those obtained with agonistic antibodies.
• Storage: Store at -20°C long term. Once rehydrated it is recommended to prepare appropriate aliquots and store them at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: Prepare sterile stock solution by dissolving rhsFasL in 100 μL sterile water (0.1 mg/mL in PBS). Further dilutions should be made with medium containing 5% fetal calf serum.
